PLANTATION, Florida – Despite Florida’s distracted driving law, distracted driving accidents remain a leading cause of injuries and fatalities in the state. Attorneys Harvey M. Cohen and Gary H. Juda of Cohen & Juda, P.A. highlight the ongoing risks of distracted driving and advocate for victims who suffer due to others’ negligence.
According to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), a crash occurs every 44 seconds in the state, with one in seven crashes involving distracted drivers and eight percent resulting in fatalities. Texting while driving remains a significant issue, cited in thousands of accidents annually. These alarming statistics underscore the importance of raising awareness and promoting safer driving habits.
“We continue to see devastating injuries from distracted driving cases,” Harvey M. Cohen stated. “Even with stricter laws, we need vigilance and accountability. Drivers must recognize the dangers they pose on our busy highways and other roads when they fail to obey the law and focus on safety.”
“At Cohen & Juda, we work tirelessly to hold negligent drivers accountable and represent our clients personally as we pursue fair compensation to help them recover and move forward with their lives,” said Gary H. Juda. “In the event of a fatality caused by distracted driving, we help families pursue wrongful death cases. While it won’t bring a loved one back, it can help ease the financial burden. We encourage victims of distracted driving accidents to schedule a free consultation with our firm.”
This reminder seeks to encourage safer driving habits and reassure accident victims about the availability of informed and experienced legal support. For more information, visit https://www.cohenandjudaflorida.com/ or call (954) 947-6009.
